The new track ‘Poor Bobby’ by Blanket Approval is about internal struggles and weariness with everything “inauthentic” in life, about conflict with oneself and the surrounding world, about an internal dead end. The indie rock sound emphasizes a certain meaninglessness of what’s happening around the character Bobby and feels like a deliberate mockery.

The track captures attention from the first notes. The guitar indie rock riff sets the mood, sounds commercial, and creates a certain dissonance between the lyrics and the mood of the melody. Therefore, the track feels very organic and truly conveys the fatigue from what is happening. A dragging, sticky feeling of hopelessness.

The production of the track is at a fairly high level. The song doesn’t sound bright and catchy, which undoubtedly catches attention. The sound balance is well done, the drum part provides a dense foundation for the sound, highlighting the guitar and the vocals. The track sounds very pleasant and professional. You know, I’ve heard a similar sound quality in movies and TV shows.

‘Poor Bobby’ is a story about inner experiences and conflicts, in a genre that is very fitting for this. The track is suitable both for sadness and melancholy, and for relaxed listening in the car or on a walk. The song will definitely appeal to listeners who love pop and indie rock sound, as well as tracks about inner struggle and the search for one’s place in the world. I recommend it!
